LOV Problem - Top Urgent !!!!!

Question

A table contains of 4 composite primary fields, one of the
primary field is a date field.
A record group created at design time with the help of above
table. This record group is used for LOV, hence in record group
query, the select statement has all the four fields. The date
field is converted to CHAR as to display as DD/MM/YYYY,
otherwise it will display as DD-MON-YY.
A LOV is created based on the above record group. In column
mapping , the return item of the date field is date type whereas
in column names the date field is CHAR ( as per record group).
This gives a problem, as return item cannot accept a character
value when its own type is Date.
I have also tried to use to_date(to_char
(field_name,FDD/MM/YYYYF),FDD/MM/YYYYF) in my record group query
but it displays the date as DD-MON-YY.
My problem is that I have to display the date field in LOV List
as DD/MM/YYYY and accept it as date field because return type is
date type field.

Hello Shamsad,
Pls. try this. I think it will help you.
1. Open registry editor ( Run regedit)
2. Go to the following folder in registry
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE
3. Add a new string NLS_DATE_FORMAT and assign value
'DD-MON-RRRR'
4. close the registry editor
5. And Now try your LOV.
Pls. don't change DATE field to CHAR in record group now it will
display as DD-MON-YYYY.
For any clearification write to me.
Thanks
